This morning I took the new wooden dough bowl over to Simon Thomas at the Staff of Life bakery. It was a lovely busy place with plenty of activity and a steady stream of customers and a great atmosphere.

Simon thinks the trough will be big enough for about 5lb of dough with space for rising which is a good amount for home baking and he liked the solid feel of it. He’s now going to take it home and put it through it’s paces before reporting back.
